IVke , to open the contents of an historical honk, ‘nd give us its trite clean sense and meaning, lac ' ,airding to its authors ? Too truly does he say of it, hi its present Eugfish dress, that the obscuri •%ty of some passages, the cataradiction;s in others, ',and the gross ideas conveyed in mail, degrade, •. and lessen its value ; makivg it indifferent to the uolettered common reader, and exceptionable to the learned. Long has it been complained of, ',. that its translation is defective. Blessed, there ..tfore, be the amending hand that corrects and ten ders it more worthy the Deity. A reverend Gentleman in his folio history of ,this book, expresses his hope that such as have *.power will appoint a revisal and amendment of it, :where it is faulty, make it plain where it is difficult, clear it up where obscure, and make it obvious to the meanest reader. The Septuagint was a translation of seventy in terprerors from Hebrew to Greek, employed by ~ P ToLEatv to complete his library in Alexandria,---- The first Translation in England was made by TYNDAL in 1527 : but it was only of the Penta . •euch and New Testament, in which he was as sisted by COVERDA LE. ; and . they afterwards trans- ~ lated the whole of it, which was r,vised and re i printed by MATTHEWS about ten years after, ,when HENRY VIII. forbade the sale of it, or any 'other. He ordered TUNSTAL, Bishop of Dor . ham, and HEATH, Bishop of Rochester, to make a new one, which was published in 1541 i. but forbade the sale of it likewise, and that none • should read it without a licence. EDWARD VI. revived TYNDAL's and TUNSTAL'S, which were soon suppressd by MARY, in -whose reign some :Calvinists, who had fled to Geneva, made an other, whiCh they printed in - London in 1598, partly in . favour of the Presbyterians, for which 'the Bishops under ELIZABETH strove to stifle it, but without effect ; and Archbishop PARKER, with other Bishops, (nought out one against it, ac cording to the Hebrew of the Ofd; and the Gieek of the New Testament ; hut JAMES 1., riot liking it, ordered it to be made more. agreeable, to the .Hebrew, leaving TUNSTAL'S of the Psalms, a; in our Liturgy, and this is what we now use. Thus we see with what freedom a book, eon 7 taitting the Word of Got), has been handled by his creature man, First of all, it was locked tip from the people by the priesthood. On the Re formation, it was only partly translated, then for !bidden to be sold or read -without a licence, until 'an imperfect one has been-spread in the commit uity, which requires alterations and repaits. But who has a!tempted a work of such labour, pa tience, and an accurate knowledge of the He- I brew tongue, before Mr. BELLAMY ? And be ;cause he has worn out thirty years of his life ['loon it, is it to be libelled in embryo and ado lesceney, nipt in its infancy, and prevented ma iturity ? it has already be en t oo much the capti lainila work of man, though in too _ the divine ' !effusion of his Creator. Let, therefore, Mr. BEL !LAsav alone, and leave him to finish what he has well begun ; and Goo give him 'health and spi rits, strength and resolution, for .so desirable a !purpose, in despite of those opponents:whO per • Ito.ips know as little of the Hebrew as they do of 'the 13,u1e, or who, careless of either, are trent ' ,blingly alive for the trade of the priesthood in the • 'Church of Rome. ~ STACKHOUSE. 13EttonToN, Nov. 27.—Yesterday, at 4 o'clock, one of the PRINCE - 1-IFLGENT'S_ well-known t ravel )ing carriages and tone arrived at the Pavi;ion, containing 'General Sir 138i4.1. BLOONFIFLD, Mr. NASH, and Mr. litcxtiEt, it is reported that hi 3 Royal Highness will be here immediately after the Ifuneral of his beloved and lamented Mother, and spend the Christmas holidays here. The magnifi icent improvements carrying on in the interior and 'exterior of the Palace are not yet completed, though they are in great forwardness, aid daily discover new beauties. The place where the new Church is to be erected is not yet fixed. The spot recommended at a Meeting of some of the Juba- Ihitants was not approved by other Inhabitants at a 'subsequent Meeting ; but as all agree that another Church is necessary, a spot _will doubtless soon 'he found agreeable to all parties. The town is ,very full of goo - d company. Lord and Lady WARWICK, Lord EGRBMONT, Lord MELsoutiNTE, sir JAMES MANSFIELD, and Sir 'JAMBS GRAHAM, M. P., are amongst the fashionables daily on the Steine. On Thursday last a deputation, consisting of the Mayor, the senior Alderman, and the Toren Clerk of the City of Coventry, presented to Mr. IBUTTERWORTN, from his friends in that city, an elegant gold cup, of exquisite workmanship, as a mark of their . respect for his character and np rohation of his conduct in the late Parliament.

Ei4 &c. &c. eroydon, ISth Nocember, 1818 SIR,—I take the liborty of Addressing you on the subject of the Statement made in your Letter to Sir Samuel R.;milly, respecting that part of the CROYDON with which I a:n professioually connected : the lands at StreathaiU and at New-Cross. My object is to vindiCate the character of the Trustees from the erroneous i•epresentation which has been made of their conduct. It is stated (1) that there are Twenty-six Acres of land at New-Cross, by Deptford, let at 4431. a year, and woith.now, As the witness is tuld, 10001. a year ;- and they are let, be be- licres, on a &ixty-years lease And (2) that t hereare Seven Acres of land, called the' Tier mirage Land," it Streathath, which are let at Sol. per an• fluff). year. This is a very serious charge. To let lands atcents so touch below their value, and moreover to prevent their improve ment by tying them up for so long a term of years, is cer tainly not the way is which persons would deal with their own estates ; arid, therefore, any Trustees of Charity estates, letting them in this disadvantageous manner, must be guilty either of gross negligence, or of a corrupt motive. But the facts are these. Of the above -mentioned Twenty six Acres, one parcel of ground, containing lA. 2K. 32P., was let, in the year 1786, upon a lease of ninety-nine years, at the yearly rent of 481. and the lessee was to lay out 160u1. in building Houses thereon, of such dimensions, and with such materials, tko. as is in the lease particularly prescribed. This parcel of ground lies adjoining to the Turnpike Road leading from LOlltloll to Deptford. The 16001. and a great deal more money, has been laid out by the lessee in building - a row of good houses, and doubtless this estate is now (as the witnesses state) very valuable. The Trustees treated for the lease with the advice of a surveyor ; and the measure is, iu every respect, an advantageous one for the Charity. This Is the state of the case with respect to such part oft he Twenty six Acres, viz. IA. 2R. 32P. as is let upon a long lease.• But the information given to the Committee (and since published) is, that the whole of the Twenty-six Acres is let on .a ninety-years lease. Except the lA. 2R. 32 ;to part of the Twenty-six Acres lies in a situation for improvement by building, but is user, and must be used, s i m ply as l an d in the ordinary course o f cultivation; and it is let on twenty une-years leases. The last leases expired at Lady-day 1799, and, a , short time previous to that period, the Trustees pub licly advertised that they should meet at the New-Cross Inn, on the 99th March, 1799, to let these lands, in. certain speci fied lots, .‘ on leases for twenty-one years, to the bidders vf the highest rents, provided the responsibility of such bidders should be approved of by the Trustees :" and the lands were thereupon let as follows : A. It. P. • 14 2 18 to Robert Ednionds, at the rent of 501. 8 2 21 John Holcombe - 35 1 2 13 John Evans - - - 10 Leases were granted accordingly, and the rents are regu larly paid. At this letting there was a competition, and an improvement in the rents took place. The reins before were 511. 10s.; the rents procured by this letting amount to 951. This 931. added to the 481., (the rent under the budding lease,) makes 1431., the total rental (as stated by the witnes ses) of these Twenty-six Acres of laud. With respect tor the Buildings, the Trustees have taken care to have them all erected according to the stipulations in the lease. One instance occurred of an under-lessee build ing a house without giving (as by the lease he was required to do) notice to the Trustees; mid he had constructed part of it in an insufficient manner, inconsistently with the regula tions expressed in theltase. As soon, however, as the Trus tees learnt that a building was going on, they caused it to be examined, and they found that it was tiled instead ol slated, and that the timber in the roof was of insufficient 'scantling; and they obliged the lessee to cause the toot to be taken otf, and the house to be finished in conformity, in every respect, ,with the terms of the lease. The Trustees occasionally visit the houses, and see that they are kept in a proper slate of repair. According to this statement of mine, (and I am prepared to prove the truth of every part of it,) the conduct of the Trus tees is not such as it has been represented to be. They have not abused their trust by foolishly or basely letting, for nearly a century, at 1431., what ought to produce 10001. or 15001. a year. They have let for ninety-nine years such part only of the land as could be advantageously let on a Building Lease, and have thereby procured for the Charity a present rent beyond what could have been procured by any - other means, and, at the same time, a valuable reversion; and all the remainder of the land they have let on usual flushantiry leases, to respectable tenants, and at the highest rents that could be obtained. It is admitted in the evidence, that the rents of the two Charity estates are paid, though the term by which that filet is expressed is a singular one. It is said, " The money is brought•forward by Mr. Drummond of Croydon, and brought into the Clrurchwarden,' Accounts." The tenants pay their rents at a meeting of the trustees; the senior Churchwar den is always apprized by me of the meeting, and he attends to receive the money. The Trustees, being the lessors, sign the receipts, and the money is forthwith paid over to be Churchwardens. The money never goes into the pockets of 'the Trustees for an instant, nor ever into mine. The term " brought forward by Mr. Drummond," seems therefore not to express very correctly the part I have in the payment of the money, which, in troth, is no more than this—l count the Money when it is paid down by the tenants, I prepare the re ceipts for the Ti haters to sign, and I see the money imme diately banded over to the Churchwardens. But it is said (4) that "there are petitions in Chancery which stop it, and things are not brought forward as they should hre:"' The purpose of the present proceedings is to regulate the manner in which these rents shall be administered to the objects of the Charity by the Parish Officers. The duty of the Trustees is only to let and manage the estates properly, and to see the rents pail into the Park!) Officers' hands. But, the proceedings being commenced, the Ctiunset for the Trustees adsised them that, while the question respecting the mode of application of these Charity funds was pending, the Trustees should not pay over the money to the Church wardens a's usual, but should retain it till they can pay it over under the direction and sanction of the Court. The Trustees, therefore, at present, receive the rents from the ►enants, and invest the money, immediately after they re ceive it, in : the Funds, adding the dividends every half-year to the capital. Thus 1 have shown, I hope, that the accwation against the Trustees, as contained in the Evidence; is groundless :-3ut, severe as this accusation is, it falls short of that which is contained in your Letter.. I should hare supposed that the statements in your Letter would be the result of the Evidence taken before the Committee, and would, of course, be sup ported by that evidence---but, in the present case, though the Ev:dence (erroneous as it is in other respects) does admit that the seven acres at Streatham are let for 351. a-year (5), and that the twenty-six acres at New Cross are let for a year (6), yet you have in your Letter (7) stated the situation of these two Charities tlins—" There are two estates belong ing to the Pour of Croydon, whirl] ought to bring between 10001. and 15001. a year, and yet worth nothing, from be ing badly let on ninety-years lessee." . I appeal, Sir, to your understanding and to yonrsense of justice, whether he ye-presentation thus inade to the Public of the conduct of these Trustees is fair,and just. • I have the hemmer to b&, Sir, Your obedient Servant, PATRICK DRCAINIONT), Solicitor to the Trustees.
